Have a Green and Fresh Weekend!

Weekend is just one step away and here are some ideas how you can be active and at the same time to participate in useful activities in your free time. Plus we share with you two of our favourite trees full with blossoms.

• Refresh your balcony with flowers, herbs and even trees and turn it into modern city oasis
• Apart from taking spring sunbaths on the rooftop why not to use it for building rooftop garden
• Initiate making garden in front of the building where you live - you can always ask for advice your neighbours or just start making the garden together

• Participate in spring festivals organised close to your place. For example from today 28th April till 30th April just few kilometers away from Sofia in Elin Pelin takes place agricultural festival for free exchange of seeds and young trees. The main idea is to bring with you some vegetable seeds from your garden or your grandmother's garden and exchange them with the other participants. During the festival you have the opportunity to participate in agricultural workshops, lectures for herbs, concerts, movie projections and lots more.

Earth Day 22nd April 2017 Call to Action Ideas for Improving the Environment

Today, 22nd April is the Earth Day and this year the Earth Day Campaign is going to focus on "climate literacy to empower global citizens with knowledge to inspire action for environmental protection".

Here is our list with ideas how everybody consciously could improve the environment:

1. Reduce using plastic bags or at least use recyclable ones

2. Use products packed in recycled flacons, boxes, packages - nowadays there are tones of companies that offer such kind of products out there in the market

3. Plant trees, flowers, bushes - it can be fun project for both kids, parents and grown-ups plus the end result out of this activity is more than beautiful

4. Recycle the waste (plastic bottles, used batteries, old clothes, cardboard and paper) - build a habit for your household or office to send the waste at the appropriate collectible places

5. Reuse when possible plastic bags and bottles - instead of buying again and again plastic bags when shopping you could always have with you one or two; the same goes for the plastic bottles after usage you can fill the with water, fruit juice or another favourite drink. 

6. Share with your friends, colleges your knowledge and experience that improved your common environment

7. Learn more about the effects of the global waste problem by the Documentary Trashed.

If you are Sofia based Participate in the Recycling Campaign today or just read about 5 Reasons Why to Use Tote Bags.

Plus do not forget: "If you think waste is someone else's problem, think again."

Thank you for reading! Feel free to comment and share with us what are your ways for recycling or reducing the waste.

Recycle-for-Full-Cycle! 

And the Winner Is...

Hey everyone!

Time to announce the Winner of CRAFTWOMEN Studio recycling quiz. Coincidentally (or not) today is also Friday the 13th. So instead of whining and moaning bout walking under ladders and bad luck in general yer beautiful-and-untouched-by-evil Craftwomen would love to urge you to try and recycle some of them evil and dark thoughts and spirits too. Think for a second. A recycled psycho homicidal maniac freak, for example, could turn out a great guy and possibly accompany you for a supersonic gin and tonic rally on your porch instead of dismembering and mutilating your body with a rusty chainsaw. Morbidly depressing bloodbath? Fatal? We say not. "Fatal" is a great Pearl Jam track by the way.

As for the recycling quiz thingy - faith in humanity is restored. Quiz aftermath is encouraging. Keep up and big up! There will always be someone to appreciate the efforts. Oh, and you make ol'Craftwomen proud!

Mind you, there could only be one winner. The random picker generator decided that the prize, Craftwomen's green heart tote bag, will go to:

Congratulations to the Winner in our Recycling quiz! Hope you will enjoy this reusable tote bag!

Spring Weekend Home Ideas - Recycling and Reading Campaign in Sofia, Burgas, Veliko Turnovo, Pleven and Kyustendil – Start date: 16th April 2016, Sofia

Great inspiration for both readers and nature lovers to come in five Bulgarian big towns this spring. Only few days away from start of the traditional  "Книги за смет" 2016 campaign. The idea of the event is to encourage people to be more conscious about the environment. 

On 16^th April this year in Sofia starts the traditional campaign that supports reading and the responsible selective recycling. Though the traditions in the recycling field started to be settle down only few years ago in the everyday life of the Bulgarians, this is one of the most successful initiative connected to the conscious recycling and at the same time supporting the book lovers. And the results out of the campaign tells a lot – only for the year 2015 during the call were collected 14 tons of plastic and all the participants involved altogether received 11 000 books.

How you can participate this year? 

If you want to join the event is that easy - just collect and bring 1 kilo of plastic waste. Of course you can always bring more recyclable plastic items and support the success of the campaign. 

What you will get?

A free book (the maximum books what you can receive no matter plastic waste you bring is two books)

The whole idea of the campaign is you bring a kilo of plastic and for this kilo you receive a free book. You can pick up a book from the special printed run for the campaign. 

Below is the full list with recyclable items what you can bring to the certain points in the city of Sofia and the towns of Veliko Turnovo, Pleven, Burgas and Kyustendil: 

- plastic bottles for water, fizzy drinks, oil or beer 
- yogurt plastic cups and plastic bottles for milk
- cans and bottles of cosmetics and sanitary products 

- plastic cups and pallets
- plastic bags, stretch film packaging film
- plastic toys

The recommendation is all of them to be empty and crushed in order not to take a lot of space.

Needless to say that the book list is more than thrilling. The new titles in Bulgarian language what you can get for free and what are added to the main book list are the following:

- "Max and Moritz" by Wilhelm Busch

- "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett

- "The World of the Worlds" by H. G. Wells

Definitely great weekend project - to clean up your home form the plastic waste and to enjoy reading books during the spring sunny days in a park or in the garden.
